Yoga in the Park and Karma Yoga's Birthday!

   


Join us for Yoga in the Park at 4:30 this Friday, June 1 at Battlepoint park.  The class is donation based and all donations will go to the Karma Yoga Fund.  We will gather at the grassy area near the playground (not too much) rain or shine!  Kids can play at the playground and we will celebrate the first birthday of the BYH Karma Yoga Project with a cake and sparkling cider so come if you can!

Thanks to the amazing and vibrant group of generous yogis at BYH, Karma Yoga has connected us to come together in so many meaningful ways over this last year:
  • Supporting BYH community members in a number of ways - financially through the Karma Yoga Fund, providing nourishing meals, providing yoga nanny childcare so parents can get to yoga (this is still available is you need it!);
  • The soulful members of Comfort Station gave donations of over $500 to an Island family struggling with illness;
  • BYH members donated beads to help create malas for Martha and Steve along with lots of powerful prayers and positive energy;
  • Donating food for Helpline's Project Wishbone and gifts for their holiday gift shop;
  • Jen led an Evening of Meditation and Compassion for the Warga family - Comfort Station provided the music and BYH members and friends of the Wargas donated over $1,500 for the family;
  • We brought peace to the ferry terminal at the MedMob in December;
  • Thanks to Joyce and Darrell Cooley's inspiration and land we started the Karma Garden to grow produce and flowers for Helpline House - next work party is Sunday June 10, 11 - 2:00.
We have more ideas for the coming year and would love to hear yours!  Our next meeting will be Thursday, June 7 at 10:45 at BYH and all are invited and welcome.  If you can't come but have ideas or questions, e-mail Helen at hburke8@gmail.com.  Hope to see you Friday at the park.
